Creating a Loyal Customer Base

What is Customer loyalty?

A customer’s strong support for you and your company’s products/services, even though there may be newer, cheaper substitutes in the market.

What creates Customer loyalty?

Service.  Your service to your Customers drives their satisfaction.  In other words, the assistance and advice you provide will lead Customers to like you, trust you and buy from you repeatedly.

It’s all about the experience. You want your Customers to keep coming back for more. Give them a reason to stay loyal. Ask yourself how you can make someone’s life better through your service.


Top 3 ways to create a Loyal Customer Base

You are in the business of relationships. Relying too heavily on technology can compromise the building of these relationships. Technology advancement is significant, but don’t lose the ability to connect and serve others in a human way. Go above and beyond with tailored customer service that sets you apart and eases technology overload.


Honesty builds TRUST. Trust builds LOYALTY. Don’t be afraid to admit your mistakes. When an error affects your Customers directly, be upfront, humble and honest. Allow them to empathize with you as you empathize with them. This will build a strong relationship.  Customers will be more likely to TRUST you and remain LOYAL, a result.

If you need additional guidance on creating loyalty, Youngevity Customer Service is a great starting point.  Refer-back to the Service Equals Sales training module and use the Customer Service Follow Up Form to stay on track.


Studies show it’s is five to 25 times harder/more expensive to acquire new Customers than it is to keep existing ones. Of course, everyone needs new Customers, but a strong existing Customer base is also attractive to new prospects who are still undecided. Your current loyal Customers become your biggest promoters, directly influencing their family and friends.

Word-of-mouth can be either positive or negative. Do your best to ensure people are passing on positive sentiments to their networks and communities. This enables you to serve your loyal base and attract new Customers, while avoiding the full cost burden of focusing exclusively on new acquisitions.
